About Tory
She adapts sessions to each person's needs and focuses on building a practical toolbox of skills. That toolbox can include strategies for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and coping with trauma and grief. Tory uses straightforward talk, goal-focused steps, and hands-on skill practice so people leave sessions with things they can try right away.
Tory blends several approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness to increase calm and present-moment focus. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused ideas when those fit the situation.
She has worked in settings supporting people with parenting stress, ADHD, addiction struggles, intimacy and sexuality concerns, and mood disorders. Tory emphasizes respect and compassion in every session and adjusts plans as goals and circumstances change.
To start, she asks people to identify clear goals and then builds steps toward those goals. That practical orientation is intended to help people feel more in control and to make progress between sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person’s goals. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most and shapes sessions around personal priorities, which can help with relationship stress, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment and calm the body. These techniques can help when stress, overwhelm, or past trauma make it hard to focus or sleep.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
